...But Satisfaction Brought it Back.

So I just finished the book blink : The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell. Yes, Many of you would consider this dry scientific reading. But I thought it was wonderful and it has started me off on 26 different mental tangents. What I would like to know is, What, if you can remember, was your first impression of me? I don't mean after the first night we hung out. I mean the first 5 minutes of meeting me. This info would help me out a bit in some of my internal reasoning. Thankee.

As for a regular journal entry, I suppose now is as good of a time as any since I already have the window open. Mom's surgery went mostly well. There was an absolutely terrifying couple of days there because the nueral block they gave her ended up affecting her breathing pretty badly. But done is done, and she is good. Well, She's driving me absolutely insane, but it's not her fault that she can't use her right arm. You would not believe how bloody difficult it is to function with only one arm. Oye. As for myself, I'm trying to get a promotion at work. I'll let you guys know how that goes once my DM eventually gets around to doing the interviews. I have a new boss who is a complete dip. Gotta love getting a manager who is younge than you are and has been with the company for a shorter time than you have AND spends less time on the clock than you do. Absolutely! This man really SHOULD be making more money than me! I'm going to switch off of that topic before I become too bitter here. Uncle Johnny has run out of his medication and refuses to go to the doctor so he can get no more of his meds. This is bad, very very bad for a 92 year old man. I've had to start making up excuses for things that I can ask him about just so that I can go downstairs and knock on his door to check on him when I haven't seen or heard him in a couple of days. On top that that, he has decided that it is highly improper for a single woman of my age to have male guests. This actually came up quite some time ago, but we still have to find a way to resolve it. Just had an emergency root canal done last Thurs. Joy of joys. The antibiotic that the Doc put me on has got to be the most terrifying medication I have ever ingested. and it's a 10 day one. Even if I did want to go out and party anytime in the next two weeks, ain't gonna happen. Yuck yuck yuck. There are other, more personal and private, thoughts in my head at the moment but I think that they are going to stay there a while longer. I do so hate to confuse myself by going all stream of consciousness before i'm really ready to accept what my subconcious has to say to me.

Probably 3 weeks and I will be back out and about on a regular basis. Thats when it's looking like mom will be able to go back to work, and that means she'll probably have use of her arm (albeit minimal) by then. It's been and will be a long long road.
